Workshop
to
Help
Link Iowa Schools to Healthy, Local Food Sources
Posted 15 March
2010
School food-service
directors play a crucial role in the health of Iowa's children,
according to Andrea Geary coordinator of the Northern Iowa Food &
Farm Partnership (NIFFP) housed at the University of Northern Iowa's
Center for Energy & Environmental Education.
NIFFP is sponsoring an educational workshop for food-service directors,
farmers, community members and interested individuals to show how food
service directors can serve healthy, fresh food to students through a
farm-to-school food program. The workshop will be from 8:30 a.m. to 4
p.m., Thursday, April 15, at UNI's Malcolm Price Lab School.
Bertrand Weber, director of wellness, nutrition and culinary standards
for Taher, Inc., a food-services management company in Minnesota, will
give the keynote address. Taher, Inc. provides K-12 school lunch
management and other food services to clients in 10 states. Weber
formerly managed numerous hotels and resorts and has worked with many
school districts to elevate their school lunch programs to a healthier
level.
"This training also will provide resources to help food-service
directors connect with local farmers and hear firsthand stories about
how some Iowa schools are switching to healthy, local foods," Geary
said.
The event is open to the public. Registration is required; the $30
registration fee includes lunch. To register contact Geary at andrea.geary@uni.edu or (319)
273-7883.
NIFFP is the co-lead agency for the Midwest National Farm to School
Network (NFTSN) and works with farm-to-school programs in the Waterloo
Community School, Independence Community School District, and UNI's
Price Laboratory School. Find more information at www.niffp.org.
